Middlesex Moves Forward With Real Estate Reassessment Plan

Middlesex County is preparing for its first real estate reassessment in four years, with some home values up by as much as 40%. The county, along with Mathews and King & Queen, issued a request for proposals earlier this month to hire a firm for the reassessment. Officials are aiming to review bids by mid-June and vote on a contract at their July 8 meeting. Some supervisors raised concerns about lost tax revenue due to the rising property values between assessments.
